    M109A3 30 MPH Bounce

    I have this problem on my 813 (1400x20's). The motion is a resonance. It is being stored/released in spring or tire in frt/behind. The latter is causing the pair to bounce like a teeter totter. It is always 30mph +/- 5mph. 1 tire on each side (rear) has 1/4" radial run-out. Adding max air (95)...

    #9 Myth: The United States lost the war in Vietnam . Fact: The American military was not defeated in Vietnam . The American military did not lose a battle of any consequence. From a military standpoint, it was almost an unprecedented performance. General Westmoreland quoting Douglas Pike, a...

    I missed the Jacobs engine brake. It will not fit without some mods.

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    I'd leave the pipe and manifold uninsulated. You peak under hood air temp is 100+*F cooler than the intake charge at 15 psi. Big rigs that I used to drive never had insulation on either the intake or exhaust. Under hood air may be radiator warm but it is moving very fast. Cold by exhaust system...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    I'll bet that thing fits. It will be interesting to see how much boost you have. The intercooler isn't even close to 100% efficient and the water is already 180. Unless you are at or above say 20-25psi it may do little towards cooling the charge. What I am seeing is low EGT and figure that even...

    Lowering an M101A2

    M-105 w/narrowed 5000lb mobile home axle. F rated 14.5 tires. The old stamped steel wheels are rather hard to find now. Square tube tongue. tilts.. Had some U bolts made at local spring shop. Had to fiddles w/ spring pads on the axle tube. A few leafs were removed too, but still takes 4000lbs cargo.

    Geared Lug Wrench

    It will if you put a bar thru the large hole. Were they issued with 2 handles? I made a single double duty bar out of 3' long round stock (for large hole). I turned down one end a for a few inches so it does the small hole too.

    wind

    I added the 'D' to my black smoker, stock, LD and it made some silly HP. I turning down the IP 2-1/2 turns and it is still a very strong, reliable, runner. I'd guess 40-50%. Very noticeable change and quite a contrast from the stone it once was. I'm sure 90 HP is possible. Use W/A injection...

    M125 and 8in howitzer

    It's hard to appreciate the size of the 8" projectile in the video. The M106 shell weighs 200lbs and stands about 35" tall. The clip shows 4 guys handling it. They have a raised carrier to get it up to the breach (head height). 5000? I'm beat after moving one across the room.
